About Goat Yoga
Part Yoga, Part Goat Snuggling, All Smiles!
Goat yoga at Smiling Hill includes mama goats, baby goats, and yogis in a large outdoor pen. These are beginner-friendly, all-levels yoga classes that combine the serenity of yoga with the silliness of goats! We start with meet and greet time with the goats, then yoga, then straight snuggling at the end.
Enjoy dairy delights or scrumptious sandwiches from the Ice Cream Barn while you’re on the farm.
Picture taking, laughing, and goat cuddling are all highly encouraged 🙂
Embrace the Elements!
It’s Maine! We play outside year-round here!
Goat Yoga classes are outside summer, fall, winter, and spring so you have full access to goat snuggles and silly yoga classes whenever you need them. Goats are generally born April – June, so every season offers a new unique experience.
Our normal practice space in the petting area provides a lush setting with the symphony of farm animals providing the soundtrack for class. The Hay Barn or Birthday Barn provide a covered space for times when it is too wet to be fully outside.
All of our spaces experience the outdoor temperature so remember to always dress for the weather!Â
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there minimum age requirements to enter the event?
- Yes. Adults and mature teens (12+) welcome! If you want to bring a younger child consider a private class (scroll down for the private class request form)!
What happens if it rains/snows?
- Class is rain or shine! The goats are always starting from outside and so will we! In the event of heavy rain, we move under an open air roofed structure. In severe weather events, we may cancel class. You will be alerted via email in the event of a cancellation. Always dress for the outside temperature. Boots, rain jackets, snow pants, bug protection, hats, sunglasses, etc…think about what you would be happy to have with you for an outdoor adventure, because that is what goat yoga is!
Can I cancel or switch to a different date?
- Prior to 24 hours before the start of class, you may go through eventbrite to cancel your ticket for a refund (less eventbrite fees), transfer your registration to a different date, or get a credit for a future class. Transfer instructions here.
